Complaints of a lame plot

Rating: Null/10 (6 July 2003)

Ok, the first half hour of the film I thought were quite interesting, and it seemed to have some promise, maybe not of a great film, but at least one better than what this turned out to be. A major question I'm left with, is how the heck can someone contract a virus in 15 to 20 seconds??!! And secondly, if this disease makes people blind with rage and want to kill everything in their path, why do the infected people hang out with other infected people? Wouldn't they try to kill each other too? I thought it was cool, when the four main characters were going through an almost deserted British Isle, that was very creepy and entertaining. As for being scary, this movie maybe had two scary moments, and any other instances just startle the audience because of loud noises and spurts of blood. The movie went bad when it changed from a movie about a virus, into revenge against these insane horny army guys. If you want a good doomsday virus story read "The Stand". Hey, I know they made a Stand t.v. movie, but wouldn't it be awesome if they made it into a big budget movie, or a series of movies? Anybody agree?
